Generations.
The way we as individuals view the world is largely shaped by the environment we grew up in. Our differences in views become visible through generational gaps, which is why understanding this is so important and it necessitates learning from the similarities and differences with an open mind without judgement.
That every generation has its own world view is not a new phenomenon. It is also immediately something that unites us, regardless of our generations. We all live in different ways from our parents and hold on to our beliefs while the world around us changes. When we are young, we are more likely to experience things for the first time, and our reactions to these events shape us. As we get older, this development slows down because our impression of the world and our character are largely formed.
The zeitgeist in which each generation grows up is characterised by defining events of the time and is indicated by a tight start and end date. If you research the start and end dates of a generation, you quickly find out that many sources use their own years. This immediately confirms yet again that a generation and the differences and similarities associated with it do not change overnight.
So the hard dividing line between generations can certainly sometimes be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, society has six distinct generations: The Silent Generation (1925 - 1945), Baby Boomers (1946 - 1964), Gen X (1965 - 1980), Millennials (1981 - 1996), Gen Z (1997 - 2010), Gen Alpha (2010 - present).
In the coming year, we will conduct research among each generation and publish it. So keep an eye on this page.
